You will be picked up in Reykjavik and drive for about 45 minutes to Thingvellir National Park. Once your group of max 3 divers has been formed, your guide will give you your drysuit and diving equipment. Your guide will explain how to use this equipment and how to ensure that you will be warm and comfortable during your tour. You can change in our heated Changing Van and the guide will help you with putting all the gear on. We recommend wearing long underwear and thick socks. Your guide will brief you on Silfra and safety as well as the unique geological and cultural history of Thingvellir national park, and the continental tectonic plates. The briefing and gearing up takes approx 1 hour. You will walk 5 minutes to Silfra and start your 30 - 45 minute scuba diving tour of the four main parts of Silfra: the Big Crack, Silfra Hall, Silfra Cathedral, and Silfra Lagoon. Make sure you remember to take a photo of you touching the continents, a bucket list moment.

Excellent Silfra Dive

Excellent dive. Excellent experience. Excellent guide. Veli guided me through Silfra and took great pictures of me and my experience like the professional he is. I’d highly recommend making sure you add this dive to your Iceland itinerary and check it off your bucket list!

A must do…

Don’t think about doing this…just do it. You won’t regret it. What an incredible experience. 10/10 Nikos from DIVE.IS was incredible and made the whole experience fun.

Diving between continents.

I had a great time on the dive. My first dive after certification. My dive master Elsa really knew her job and did great. And a shout out to James for getting me through my certification.

Great experience!

My friend and I thought snorkeling at Silfra was such an amazing experience. It was a lot less cold than we expected, especially after Reddit nearly scaring us away from doing it in December. Veli was a great guide and we felt safe and well informed for the experience. Highly recommend!
